The Last Day of 2014

It would take quite a lot for me to call a year a bad one. There isn't much nostalgia for the year-soon-to-pass. 2014's been kind and generous. All the wonderful things and lows happened for a reason to make up 365 days. Would I have done anything differently? Nope. The year has provided precious memories for me to hold dear.

Here we are, all wrapped up for 2014. It's done. No regrets. I step into the new year with gratitude, and a reminder to be less angsty and have a little more patience. Let's look at some fresh starts, newfound peace and quiet joy. May your new year bring more ups than downs.

Notion

“A large, but not particularly impressive, book. Other books in the University's libraries had covers inlaid with rare jewels and fascinating wood, or bound with dragon skin. This one was just a rather tatty leather. It looked the sort of book described in library catalogues as 'slightly foxed', although it would be more honest to admit that it looked as though it had been badgered, wolved and possibly beared as well.
Metal clasps held it shut. They weren't decorated, they were just very heavy – like the chain, which didn't so much attach the book to the lectern as tether it.
They looked like the work of someone who had a pretty definite aim in mind, and who had spent most of his life making training harness for elephants.” ~ The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett
